7.5 Hours...445 minutes...26,700 seconds...

Psalm 118:24 - This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Wow... TODAY is the day... the long, exciting, sad, amazing day I've been thinking and praying about for 10 months!!!

I went to bed around 1:45 a.m. this morning and slept LIKE A LOG! Thank you Lord! Woke up to the sound of my alarm (I think I was dreaming about puppy Jen at the moment...), at 7:30, just in time to visit a little with Josh and say good-bye (sniff, sniff), before he headed off to work. Another answered prayer: it wasn't an awful good-bye, and we got through with nary a tear! My bro is the best! I sure will miss him!

So... just about 9 more really difficult good-byes and I will be on the plane with my face "set" to Belgium!

From the words of a friend... who couldn't have put it better! "... Thankfully, security can't keep God in checked luggage or at home, so He'll be right there with you..."

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers! Love ya'll!

Hey MaryBeth,
I hope you have a great flight to Belgium. We'll all miss you so much, and housechurch will be so different without you there. But it'll be so exciting to see what God does for/through you in Belgium! I'm praying for you, and I hope you have an amazing trip!
